Introduction and Roadmap

This section describes the contents and organization of this guide—Developing Web Applications, Servlets, and JSPs for WebLogic Server

 


Document Scope and Audience

This document is a resource for software developers who develop Web applications and components such as HTTP servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) for deployment on WebLogic Server®. This document is also a resource for Web application users and deployers. It also contains information that is useful for business analysts and system architects who are evaluating WebLogic Server or considering the use of WebLogic Server Web applications for a particular application.

The topics in this document are relevant during the design and development phases of a software project. The document also includes topics that are useful in solving application problems that are discovered during test and pre-production phases of a project.

This document does not address production phase administration, monitoring, or performance tuning topics. For links to WebLogic Server documentation and resources for these topics, see Related Documentation.

It is assumed that the reader is familiar with J2EE and Web application concepts. This document emphasizes the value-added features provided by WebLogic Server Web applications and key information about how to use WebLogic Server features and facilities to get a Web application up and running.

Examples for the Web Application Developer

In addition to this document, BEA Systems provides examples for software developers within the context of the Avitek Medical Records Application (MedRec) sample, discussed in the next section.

Avitek Medical Records Application (MedRec)

MedRec is an end-to-end sample J2EE application shipped with WebLogic Server that simulates an independent, centralized medical record management system. The MedRec application provides a framework for patients, doctors, and administrators to manage patient data using a variety of different clients.

MedRec demonstrates WebLogic Server and J2EE features, and highlights BEA-recommended best practices. MedRec is included in the WebLogic Server distribution, and can be accessed from the Start menu on Windows machines. For Linux and other platforms, you can start MedRec from the WL_HOME\samples\domains\medrec directory, where WL_HOME is the top-level installation directory for WebLogic Platform.

Web Application Examples in the WebLogic Server Distribution

WebLogic Server optionally installs API code examples in WL_HOME\samples\server\examples\src\examples, where WL_HOME is the top-level directory of your WebLogic Server installation. You can start the examples server, and obtain information about the samples and how to run them from the WebLogic Server Start menu.

BEA provides several Web application, servlet, and JSP examples with this release of WebLogic Server. BEA recommends that you run these Web application examples before developing your own Web applications.

 


New and Changed Features in This Release

For this manual, there are no significant new or changed features for version 9.1 of WebLogic Server. If you are not familiar with the new features provided in version 9.0 of WebLogic Server, see the What's New in WebLogic Server 9.0 section of the WebLogic Server Release Notes.
